Carey-Backed War Raising Costs on Everything from Gas to Clothes and Toys [AP]

As the Mike Carey-approved war in Iran drags on, hardworking Ohio families are getting hit from every angle – already paying more at the gas pump, on health caregroceries, and utilities and under sweeping tariffs.

Now, that impact has spread even further. Thousands of everyday products reliant on crude oil are getting more expensive – from clothes and toys, to basic household items like laundry detergent.

TLDR: Carey and extreme Republicans’ reckless policies are driving up costs on just about everything families rely on.

Products facing increases under Mike Carey’s extreme agenda:
✅ Gas
✅ Food
✅ Furniture
✅ Fertilizer
✅ Auto parts
✅ Tires
✅ Clothes
✅ Toys
✅ Computer keyboards
✅ Makeup and nail polish
✅ Tennis rackets
✅ Contact lenses
✅ Detergent
✅ Gum
✅ Shoes
✅ Crayons
✅ Shaving cream
✅ Pillows
✅ Aspirin
✅ Umbrellas
✅ Pens
✅ Curtains
✅ Luggage

The list goes on and on…

REMINDER: Carey voted repeatedly to protect price-hiking tariffs that are harming Ohio’s agricultural economyfarmers, and manufacturers.

DCCC Spokesperson Riya Vashi:
“Mike Carey doesn’t care about Ohio families paying more for everything they need to get by. While working people are stretched thin by rising costs on basics like gas, groceries, and household essentials, Carey is dismissing them and standing by reckless policies driving prices even higher.”
